| Warfare Miniatures' top selling code WLOA01 - Musketeers in firing line |
As the hot summer continues, I am comforted by finally being in the UK for two consecutive weeks having worked as hard as I can remember in the last few years. Cloning technology would have been very welcome in the Hilton house in 2018.

Crossing the Shannon - The Guns of August 2018
Clarence Harrison - My work schedule has been crazy recently and I realized I was never going to be able to finish the Limerick project I had planned for The Guns of August (maybe Historicon 2019). Rather than give up on the idea of attending, I set out to find a different scenario to run.
While sorting through scenarios, I stumbled on the map for 'Crossing the Shannon'. This game appeared in the...

Warfare, Quindia and Wordtwister: Here is the news 2018
 |
| Our most commercially successful SALUTE for four years |
2018 has been a busy year for us so far. The big job was getting 'Billy Bunter's Postal Order' to finally arrive, aka The War of Three Kings ( Beneath the Lily Banners 3rd Edition). The book has been very well received and importantly for our continuing input to the hobby, commercially successful already.

A Guide to Basing - The Quindia Studios Way
Clarence Harrison - Which means lazy! I've gotten a couple of questions recently about how I base my models and I thought I'd detailed this here before, but... well, I couldn't find it so here you go. This is an easy method that still gives good results.
I mainly use three materials, fine ballast from Woodland Scenics, coffee grounds (the same as the mid-level texture on my terrain boards), and...

Lots of Dragoons
 |
| Painted as Hanoverian Dragoons - WLOA58 and WLOA60 |
I have been slow off the mark painting and basing my dragoons but the new codes have sold very well so far despite having no oxygen of publicity.
 |
| Painted as Enniskillen Dragoons 1689-1692 WLOA58 & WLOA60 |
So, time to give them a little ventilation and let everyone see how they look in nice units. Painted by myself, Toggy, Rob Goodier and Jim Masson...
Les Français arrivent! French troops at Crisis 2017!
 |
| French Dragoons both mounted and dismounted supported by a mortar |
I had to make a choice - Blog or paint. I decided in the interest of having things to blog about, I should paint!
Crisis is approaching fast and soon Captain Haddock, Cookie Gwen and myself, the Old Codger, will be sailing the High Seas to Ijmuiden for our road trip to the centre of Belgian wargaming - Antwerpen.

Guest post: GNW Swedes by Don Crane
 |
| The Brigade in all its glory |
The Blog has featured the work of several painters over the years and I always enjoy seeing how painters and gamers create and interpret figures and unit construction.
I recently had the privilege of seeing some truly wonderful pieces of work from Don Crane who has been building a GNW Swedish army.
